The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Meeting the Gods (8)

A few days later.

I got off the carriage and held my knees with a pouting face. My feet trembling.

Adis Academy was where the children of great powers would attend, and the admission procedure was quite complicated.

Teleportation could only be used from a distance of 300 km from the academy.

Car and baggage checks, as well as identity checks of prospective students and porters, at the viewing post every 50 km.

It is prohibited as a tool so that the holder of magic or magic tools can not use it.

'This is more complicated than the entry procedure in any country.'

If one of the students was injured, it would be a spark of war, so this kind of procedure was natural.

I understand, but after spending three days on the train to get to the school building, I almost fainted.

Emeline got off the carriage one step ahead of me and shook her head.

"Blaine, you lack stamina."

“You monster, Emeline. Besides, I have more magic tools than you. I feel like my stamina is decreasing with every breath ……. ”

"Biasalah.you can't use it all the time.”

While we were chatting, the coachman approached.

"I'm going to move Lady and Miss Emeline's suitcase to the dorm."

Emeline turned to the coachman with a polite expression.

“Thank you for your offer. My suitcase is small, so I'll move it myself.”

"But-"

“There are only two baggage bags. I've received more help. More than that, I don't want to be a burden.”

The savage Emeline refused as usual and picked up her suitcase.

The coachmen, whom my aunt told me to take good care of my friend, looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"Lady……."

“She said she was burdened by it, so leave her alone. I wouldn't say no. I feel like I'm going to die....”.

As I sighed, the coachman chuckled and began to move his luggage.

Emeline, holding her luggage, looked at the academy gate and said.

“Be strong. This is not the place where Dubbede's name can protect you.”

"Yes. I know."

I nodded and looked to the inside of the academy which was visible through the gate.

An artificial river flowed through four large buildings, many students in white school uniforms embroidered with golden threads, and a statue of Neliard in the center.

This is the Academy of Odis, the gathering place for those who can climb to the top of the pyramid.

'Here lies the foundation of the Dubbede Kingdom.'

It was the beginning of a new life.

***

On the day of the reception ceremony, I headed to the auditorium, where the reception ceremony was held with Emeline.

As we were about to enter the auditorium, a long and beautiful red-haired girl came towards me and waved at Emeline.

"Hello, Miss Leblaine."

“Halo, so ....”.

“This Sandra. I sat next to him at the briefing.”

"Ah, you remember."

“Do you prepare well? I struggle because I'm not used to living without a waiter.”

We have a lot of work to do.

Conducting briefings, getting dorm room assignments, measuring uniforms, receiving uniforms…

There are so many things to do even on the day of the reception ceremony. Most first-year students headed for the entrance ceremony pale.

However, Emeline, who had moved between orphanages since childhood, and I, who had gotten used to doing everything alone in my previous life, were easier than the other students.

Sandra sighed, covering her cheeks with one hand.

“I think I miss home. I miss my sister very much. He's three years old. Do you want to see it?”

Sandra showed me a portrait of her sister.

“Wow, she has the same mouth and eyes as Miss Sandra.”

"really? There's a big age difference, so he's like my son. I really want to hear his voice, but I can not use the communication device here.”

"That's fine. I want to contact other people too. ”

“From next month onwards, they will share communication devices to students.”

"Is that so?!"

I opened my eyes wide.

'That's great. I'm frustrated because I can't use a communication device.'

Of course, I couldn't contact my family, and the place was too big for me to even meet Henry and Isaac.

Above all, I worry about the mercenary guild of hope. The Chairman and Seria are fine, but some things are difficult to continue without my decision, so I have to confirm.

“I'm the only one who entered Odis this year in my home country. Please be my friend too.”

"Of course."

“Ah, forgive me. Miss Leblaine is so famous that I remember her name, but I don't yet know the name of that noble lady. If you don't mind, may I know your name?”

Emeline answered, though,

"I'm a commoner with no family name."

“Yeah, last name doesn't matter either. Here, if we call someone else by their last name, we will get a penalty. So what's your name?"

Hearing Sandra's words, Emeline gave a humble expression.

"My name is Emeline."

“Emeline……. That's a pretty name.”

"Miss Sandra must be a good person."

I smiled and pulled Emeline's hand.

“If you don't mind, will you have lunch with us? We arrived at the academy later than the other students, so we didn't know many people. ”

Sandra clapped her hands and said.

"I'm happy for that. Can I invite someone else?"

"Of course!"

"Blaine, don't you think we're out of bread?"

“We can get it again from restaurant.”

"good. After the entrance ceremony, I'll leave. ”

“Good idea, Miss Sandra!”

We entered the ceremony in a friendly atmosphere.

"It's a great start."

As soon as I sat on the chair, the entrance ceremony began.

The greeting of the principal is continued with the introduction of lecturers and warnings that must be watched out for by new students.

And some students went up to the podium.

They are students of. In other words, they are the executives of the Academy of Odis, OSIS.

The place where I, who received the honorary title, will enter soon.

This place is full of golden connections.

“Blaine. Look over there."

Hearing Emeline's whisper, I turned my gaze to the place she pointed.

'Henry, Isaac!'

Henry smiled as usual, and Isaac looked extremely bored. As soon as my eyes met the two of them, their faces brightened.

In an instant, a cry erupted from the entire auditorium.

“Isaac! Battlefield ghost!”

“Yeah, Henry.

I'm glad to see both of them praised by everyone.

'I'm so proud!'

Smiling, the exclamation stopped as the last Elysiano Class student climbed onto the podium.

Bright blonde hair, a pointed nose, and a beautiful mouth look harmonious.

He's the guy I saw again after three years.

“..... Adrian.”

As I muttered, he sat down among the students, and the professor introduced him.

"This is Adrian, who will act as president for the first half of the year replacing the current chairman of OSIS."

'The president? Adrian, you work hard!'

Among the students of the Elysiano Class on the podium, there was Prince Andre, son of Empress Yvonne.

I can only imagine what Empress Yvonne would have looked like if she had known that Adrian had defeated her son and served as president.

The Elysiano Class students lowered their heads lightly towards the new students, and the new students bowed in response.

It was a signal that the entrance ceremony was about to end.

Just then, a man who seemed to be a faculty member walked up to the podium and whispered to the professor who was holding the magic tool. The professor looked at the man with a confused expression. Immediately, the professor coughed open his mouth again.

“In addition, we introduce special admission students.”

Special reception?

The auditorium is noisy again.

Emeline and Sandra had the same confused expression on their faces.

“Is there any special admissions students in Odis Academy?”

"This is the first time I've heard it too."

I'm curious too.

The Academy of Odis is the center of attention from all over the world. Rumors easily spread like that, but I had never heard of any special students in my life before.

Yoke, buk.

A woman with dark blonde hair appeared with the sound of footsteps.

That's a guy I know very well.

'Mina......!!'

Mina walked up to the professor and scratched her head.

“That, Jeong Mi...... ah, didn't they say I can't use my last name here? i'm Mina. It's nice to meet you!"

How did this happen?

Why did Mina show up here?

Henry and Isaac on the podium were also staring at him with hardened faces.

***

As soon as the reception ceremony was over, I went to Henry and Isaac to check on the situation.

When Henry and Isaac, who were in Elysiano's class, were just about to enter the OSIS room, I shouted.

"Henry, Isaac!"

"Babies!"

"Leblaine?"

I managed to catch both.

“How are you? I'll visit you before the reception ceremony, but you didn't tell me your dorm number ... "

“No, more than that, you remember that person before?”

Henry nodded.

“We also just heard it now.”

"What's going on?"

“The Elysiano class has the task of finding an ancient artifact, and when they find the artifact, it seems like the door from which he came has opened.”

"Then?"

“They asked the temple to check on the girl, and it turns out she has the same holy power as you.”

It seems that the news was late because they did not have the means of communication. As I bit my lip, Isaac looked into the OSIS room with a cold expression.

"We have to do something."

“Isaac.”

"If you hide it, it will only make things more complicated."

“…….”

“Bocil, listen carefully. The holy power of the girl was said to surpass the power of the Pope. No, it would be more accurate to say that he is the strongest in history.”

"What?"

“The owner of the strongest holy power in history, surpassing the founding emperor.. In addition, he was born on February 29.”.

I stiffened as Henry sighed and continued.

"Today, they're going to announce that a second child of fate has emerged."
